Hi,
Are scores an absolute calculation or relative to what is in a given
index? I ask because I wanted to look into distributing my index over
a few servers. The idea being that I could get 10 results for a couple
of servers, do an in memory merge and return the results faster than
it would be possible with just the one index server.
Would this work? Has anyone tried this type of ghetto map-reduce like
deployment with ferret?
